TAMPA BAY TIMES WATCH
Notice that the Tampa Bay Times begging for tax deductible donations advertisement below says: "Donate by check to: Tampa Bay Times C/O Poynter Institute". They want you to donate to the Tampa Bay Times care of Poynter which the head of Poynter Paul Tash making $475,000 ran the Tampa Bay Times into the ground to the tune of tens of millions of dollars in liens against the Tampa Bay Times all the while Paul Tash still heads the Tampa Bay Times. Why doesn't the Tampa Bay Times or Poynter be transparent and reveal this mess probably because they would get no donations if people found out how they are being manipulated to fund a pinko rag newpaper. The Tampa Bay Times and Poynter don't want you to know that the money can be used for stuff that is not listed on the advertisement. Buried deep in their website for their sleazy reasons they say the money can be used for other stuff like the legal department.
Poynter Institute owns and controls the not for profit 501(c)(3) Politifact which is a so called fact checking organizaion. Politifact has been caught in many lies mainly because they are not a real fact checking organization but a front for pinko propaganda and ideology. Facebook owned by billionaire Mark Zuckerburg known to thwart and supress free speech and TikTok owned by a Chinese Communist Party Billionaire are Politifact's two biggest funders. The Tampa Bay Times that harps on transparancy when queired about how much that Facebook and TikTok tax-deductible yearly donate to Politifact keep their hypocritical mouth shut and don't want to reveal the exact amount for obvious reasons. If they told you jsut how much Facebook and TikTok were donating they know that would tip off and make the reader suspicious of Politifact's motives. Politifact is now beholden to Facebook and Tiktok more than they are the unbiased truth of the matter. Of course being not for profit Poynter has to provide their yearly tax return to anyone who requests it. When queried about just how much Facebook and TikTok yearly donate to Politifact Poynter refers you to look at their latest tax return for the information. Problem is they know that that figure is included in a total figure with no itemization and so they make it look like you can get that information from their provide tax return when you can't. Hypocritical Poynter that demands transparency is not transparent. Facebook and Tiktok donate millions to Politifact and get a tax deduction for doing so. So Facebook and Tiktok's money influences Politifact and FaceBook and TikTok get a nice tax deduction for their steering the Politifact narrative. Politifact should be ashamed of themselves for accepting big money from a Chinese Communist Billionaire in China but Politifact has no shame. Of course Politifact will falsely tell you they don't let these giant Facebook and Communist TikTok donations sway our rulings, when anyone with a brain knows they are not going to bite the communist hand that feeds them.
Poynter Institute not only owns Politifact they also own the Tampa Bay Times. The Tampa Bay Times is a for profit corporation. Paul Tash head of Poynter has run the Tampa Bay Times debt to tens of millions of dollars and he makes $475,000. After all Paul Tash's financial incompetance the Tampa Bay Times is now begging for tax deductible donations to the Tampa Bay Times. Paul Tash's incompetant financial decision ran the Tampa Bay Times into tens of millions of dollars in debt. The Tampa Bay Times is morally and ethically sick and has a lot of gall to ask readers to donate money to the Tampa Bay Times when Paul Tash makes an obscense salary all the while asking you to bouy up a for profit corporation he financiall ran into the ground. Better yet since the Tampa Bay Times is begging for money while their leader Paul Tash head of Poynter Institute that owns the Tampa Bay Times makes $475,000 plus benefits per year incompetant Paul Tash and the other obscenely paid Poynter and Tampa Bay Times officers should take a pay cut. Since they don't the beg money from you. I think by now the reader has figured out not to donate a penny to the Tampa Bay Times pinko rag so they can spread more of their pinko agenda propanda all the while asking you to help fund their "shape the news" newspaper.
Poynter and Politifact are not for profit corporatons paying no federal income taxes and therefore by law cannot recommend any political candidates so that is why Poynter owns the for profit Tampa Bay Times because the for profit Tampa Bay Times can make political recommendations. Paul Tash and the Tampa Bay Times editorial board recommended the highly incompetent senile Joe Biden for president and you see what they now recommened for you at the gas pump, grocery store, new or used car lot. Latest tax return reveals Paul Tash is head of Poynter and gives 37.5 hours per week to it and it paid $475,000 per year for his salary. Leaving 2.5 hours in a 40 hour work week to sit as the head of the Tampa Bay Times editorial board and make political recommendations he can't make at Poynter. That is part of the Poynter - Tampa Bay Times for profit not for profit scam. Poynter pays no federal income tax but can't recommend political candidates so Poynter uses he tax code loopholes to get around the law of not being able to recommend political candidates from Poynter but Paul Tash could go to the Tampa Bay Times and recommend political candidates.
Recently Paul Tash announced his retirement from the Tampa Bay Times, but the financal damage that his policies did to the Tampa Bay Times has left it in debt tens of millions of dollars. That is where Data Mining Facebook's Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and Data Mining Communist Chinese Billionaire who owns Tik-Tok come in the back door of POLITIFACT owned by Poynter who conveniently owns the Tampa Bay Times as POLITIFACTS 2 biggest funders. The Tampa Bay Times has been hijacked by big radical left and communist billionaire money and the Tampa Bay tTimes is not going to bite the hands that give them the money to survive. Since that money has ideologically corrupted the Times they selectively print what they want people to see and simply filter out the stories they don't want to highlight and their reader to see. Not hard to figure out why. Selective censorship.
